Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (face) will not play Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers.
There's a possibility that Mirotic makes his debut on Friday in Charlotte versus the Hornets. Head coach Fred Hoiberg said that Mirotic will be a part of the rotation once available but it remains to be seen how large of a role he will have in a crowded Bulls frontcourt.
Once active, numberFire's models project Mirotic to average 11.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 3-pointers, 0.8 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers in 26.3 minutes per game on 45.6 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from deep.
